EATING IN THE SANTA YNEZ VALLEY
Welcome to the beautiful Sant Ynez Valley. Nature has brought us a little too much rain this year but all the green and wildflowers you will see on our wedding week are its gift. This valley is not only well known for its world class wines but also for its eclectic blend of excellent restaurants. We have curated a list of some that you hopefully enjoy. Please, do not limit yourself to Solvang or whichever town where you are staying. It’s easy to get around to the surrounding towns of Los Olivos, Santa Ynez, Los Alamos, Ballard, and Buellton. We’ve included options for fine dining, casual dining, breakfast, sandwiches, delis, as well as places for a good beer if you’re tired of drinking wine.
** Always try to make reservations around here **
** For the New Yorkers, restaurants mostly close early around here – by 8:30 – 9 PM **
